Lion Brand Yarn Bonbons Yarn, Nature 8 x 28 yd/26 m

As the words imply "bon bons" these are small skeins of yarn.. they were perfect for what I used them for...I kept some intact though I replaced the band with ribbon and some I rolled into different size balls and attached them to a wreath along with knitting needles and crochet hooks for my mothers funeral services...it turns out just perfect

Ordered for my granddaughter & didn't pay attention to the size lol they are very small but she loves them says they are perfect for making little pom poms!!

I want to be very clear, I am not complaining about the size of the yarn; I'm complaining about the quality of the yarn, and the consistency of the product within one single package.First off, the yarn in my package is fuzzy and splitty. It's very thin for supposed sport weight yarn; going off looks alone I would have guessed it to be closer to fingering weight. (I noticed another review calls it sock-weight yarn, so I'm not the only one who finds it thin.) Even with that, the suggested hook size is 5.5mm--for comparison, that's also the recommended hook size for Red Heart Super Saver yarn, which is probably three times as thick as this stuff. The knitting needle size is only 4mm. There is not typically such a disparity between suggested hook and needle sizes. If you use the recommended hook, you're guaranteed to be left with a sloppy, floppy disappointment. The first picture I'm including is of some of the red skein. It is NOT out of focus; the yarn is just fuzzy.Now, the inconsistency problem. Second photo is of 7/8 of my little skeins (I didn't think to take a photograph until after I'd used the red). You can sort of tell from the product photo that they're not actually all the same size; it's more readily obvious in my photo. The package claims that each skein of yarn is 28 yards. The bright orange is visibly larger than the others. The yellow didn't seem smaller, but nevertheless turned out to have less yarn in it than both the red and the light orange. I was able to get a nice 6-round granny square from both the red and the light orange (which worked out to about 4.5"; see the third photo), with some left over, but the yellow skein came up short with half a round to go. I've been crocheting for 25 years. I am not a novice. This is not an issue of inconsistent tension. It's an issue of inconsistent amounts of yarn. I actually felt bad for planning to leave a three star rating right up until I ran out of yellow yarn.Here's my last issue: the colors don't really coordinate. I don't know if this is an issue across all the colorways or not, but it is here. The red and purple are fairly dark and rich. The green and blue/teal are lighter but still fairly similar. Then there are inexplicably three neon colors (bright orange, yellow, and pink) and the other orange is almost a pastel. And why two shades of orange? It's not red-orange or yellow-orange plus normal orange, it's neon and pastel orange. I'll make it work, since it was a Valentine's Day gift, but it's not something that adheres to any decent standards of design or color theory.

This item was a gift for my niece who knits or crotchets hair scrunchies. She has made several very pretty ones. Wish I took a photo when she visited me.

Forgoing the microscopic size of these skeins, the yarn quality is superb. I've only ever used Coboo by LB and I hated it, so I was a bit hesitant to try these out. They work up amazingly and they feel so soft! I got Nature, which is Sport (2) weight. I wish these had an option to get them in a bigger skein as there's one color specifically I'd like to use as a border. There could be, but I'm not experienced with Lion Brand enough to really know for sure!Just keep in mind these are TINY. Barely bigger than a quarter. I knew how small they were when reading reviews/description, but it doesn't really sink in until it's in your hands, honestly. I'm not going to dock any stars for that, though, as it's just a drawback of online shopping in general.These have made me want to try more Lion Brand yarns as they're so nice to work with. No splitting, no tangling (unlike Coboo!, soft and shiny. Very happy with my purchase.

BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY! Not enough yarn to do anything with..

This collection of yarn has saved my bacon so many times over the years! They've been perfect for the details of plushies, bookmarks, fidget toys, etc. Such a good range of colors and just enough for the kinds of quick, colorful projects I enjoy.

I guess I should have looked at the net weight or something closer. Because this was a lot smaller than I expected. Not a lot can be done with it, certainly not what I had hoped to do with it. Which was make a scarf and head wrap for a friend going through cancer treatment. Just another reminder to read the descriptions of these things closely. But I should have known better for $12.
